Biographical History
Georgetown County, South Carolina plantation owner and medical doctor. James Ritchie Sparkman, son of James and Anna Sparkman, married Mary Elizabeth Heriot (1827-1912) in 1845. Sparkman served as commissioned surgeon in General W.J. Hardee's Legion during the Civil War. After the death of his father-in-law, physician Edward Thomas Heriot (1793-1854), Sparkman exchanged his plantation Birdfield for Dirleton Plantation (previously known as Richfield), a rice plantation on the Pee Dee River. The plantation remained in the family until 1917 when it was sold to the Upton family of Norfolk, Virginia. The Sparkman family again owned Dirleton from 1932 until 1943.
James Ritchie Sparkman was a South Carolina rice planter and physician of the Pee Dee River area of Georgetown District, S.C. He was the brother of William Ervine Sparkman (1813-1846), and married Mary Elizabeth Heriot, daughter of physician Edward Thomas Heriot.
